I❤️these 2 so much; I’ve followed them on & off for many years! Julia has such a great eye; her transitional designs are what drew me in & Chris manifests those ideas so well!! They really are very authentic/relatable, hard working good people; very inspirational. This was a fantastic interview! P.S. I was gutted when I revisited their channel recently to catch up & watched a series of videos of their beautiful A-frame project coming to life..only to watch a video of the stunning results..burning to the ground. It was unimaginable & incredibly heartbreaking. I’m excited about their new home renovations & future plans to rebuild the cabin! I’ll definitely be along for the transformation❤️

What is really sad is they were remodeling there cabin and were almost finished and it caught on fire and burned to the ground. It was so so so sad. But the good news is they have moved on and have a new home they are remodeling now.
